Jesse Judd represents a new wave of architects – looking to the future and nature for his inspiration. The Wheatsheaf home, he admits, is a personal project of which he is extremely proud. “It’s a holiday house, not a house where all your worldly possessions are on display. It’s about … simplifying your life and stripping it back. It’s a place to live well but live simply,” he explains. Judd Lysenko Marshall Architects, 0411 214 832 or jlma.com.au.

Snakes and other creatures with a deadly bite roam the leaf-strewn landscape, and while Australians are accustomed to sharing the bush with the native fauna, sometimes the boundaries become blurred.
